Mallard Cottage

A fabulous well equipped cottage.

Lovely welcome hamper on arrival. Cottage was well appointed and very clean. Situated in a lovely village and very handy for getting the train into York.

Lovely cottage and ideal as a base.

Well equipped. Comfortable beds and cosy with a log fire. Lovely touch of welcome pack.

Great property.

Very comfortable and well equipped in handy location.

The cottage was excellent, it had good facilities, very clean and well maintained, the hamper left by the owner was a very good touch, plenty of room in the property.

We had a good stay whilst visiting York, would definitely recommend.

Had a great stay and would like to return next year, we found the property to be of high standard.

The house was very comfortable in the lounge and bedroom and the kitchen was perfect. Parking was no problem just outside the property. Only 15mins drive to York. 5 star from us.

Lovely cottage in a pretty village.

It had everything as described. The king size bed was really comfy. The welcome basket was a nice touch. There was everything we needed for our stay. Parking was easy on the road outside the cottage. The train station is close by for easy trips into Leeds and York.

Lovely cosy stay - perfect for me and my 2 teenage children.

It had everything we needed and enough room for us all to have our own space. The proximity of the train station and the speed of the journey to York made for a stress free day trip.

This is a great place in a lovely village with everything you need in the house and beyond.

This is a great property.

Very comfortable and well equipped, next to pleasant countryside and very well place for the York trains as well as the village amenities.

Perfect cottage for our short stay, this cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

It’s well located, clean and is fully equipped. We loved using the log burner. It’s really close to our family so will definitely be back in the summer.

We had a really lovely stay.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and has clearly been kitted out to a very high standard. The setting is very peaceful but also close to the station for easy access to the surrounding area. My children were really pleased to discover that there were Christmas decorations up (the host had contacted me to ask if they'd like that, which was very thoughtful). The village has a well stocked shop and an Indian restaurant and a pub. I'd suggest booking if you want to eat at the pub, as we found it fully booked when we tried. We will definitely stay again.

Great location for exploring the county of Yorkshire by car, bike, or train.

The proximity to the train station and a few minutes ride on the train into York and Leeeds is an advantage, especially if you've tried driving through and/or parking in York. Church Fenton has a pub with great food, a local shop, and an Indian restaurant. Neighering vilages alos have good pubs, but finding somewhere open on a Monday night can be a bit of a challenge. Mallard cottage is comfortable accommodation for a family of 3-4 people. It is well equipped and mainatined to a high standard, and warm too.

Only complaint would be very small towels!

Other than that it was perfect, lovely cottage with great facilities, everything you would need and in a great location ☺️

Great location, comfortable and well equipped.

Lovely village with lovely village shop and pub. All easy walking distance, as is the train station, only 10 minutes trip to York. Property needs a coffee table in the lounge and larger bath towels to get top marks. It is quite noisy in the garden with the train whistle and the flight path of the local small airport, but not a deal breaker.

Very comfortable, convenient and well equipped house.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage whilst visiting the area for my nephews wedding.

The property was comfortable and had a lot of amenities. The only negative comment I would feedback, was dirty underwear underneath the back bedroom bed. This is a shame as everything else was very good. This could have been solved with more thorough checks upon guests leaving and new ones arriving

Lovely place to stay .

.was spotless and clean inside… everything you need for a relaxing stay .. some nice walks around the area … highly recommended.

Struggled to find towels in two of the bedrooms, need to be more prominent and could do with bread, salt and pepper in the welcome pack.

A coffee table or something to put drinks on in the lounge rather than having to use the dining table. Apart from that the cottage is great and in a beautiful village with great access to the local area. Definitely use again.

Great place to stay.

Perfect location to catch the train to york and Leeds. Visited the local Indian restaurant which was absolutely lovely. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.

Really great cottage , extremely clean , comfortable and cosy.

Contact was excellent and quick when we couldn’t locate the cutlery drawer. Really high standard accommodation, a great stay.

In my opinion: The cottage is very well presented and clean and will sleep five (as listed), but the living space would be tight with five people, (2 people on our visit).

Location was great for getting into/out of York on the train. Worth noting the cottage is on the edge of a community, with the expected day to day activities going on around.

Very comfortable house with the added bonus of being near a railway station.

Lovely, quiet area. Visit York 10 mins on train or Leeds 19 mins on the train. Lotherton Hall very close - worth a visit. Also close are Nostell Hall, Harewood House & Castle Howard.

A lovely place to stay, peaceful and quite

We loved our stay here, the house was really clean, laid out well and great utensils in the kitchen which was perfect for cooking.

Location was really handy for York and getting out and about. Would highly recommend.

A lovely little place in a great location; walking distance from the train station, shop, Indian restaurant and pub.

Lovely cosy comfortable cottage in beautiful peaceful surroundings.

Lots of nice welcoming touches and not loads of rules and instructions which can often be the case. Highly recommended

Lovely cottage perfectly situated to explore Yorkshire.

House is clean, modern and comfortable. Welcome hamper was a lovely touch and the kiddies were very grateful for the chocolate and biscuits, thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was comfortable and nicely furnished. The kitchen was modern, well-equipped and had plenty of storage space. Good beds, pleasant sitting/dining room and nice bathroom. Handily located for local amenities (the community shop is marvellous). Great base for exploring the wider area and its many attractions.

Great house, perfect location especially for train links to York.

Lovely house with a very homely feel. Beds very comfortable and everything you could possibly need was there. Lovely welcome basket too, thanks. Amazing stove which really heated up the lounge. A lovely long weekend break was had by all and would happily stay there again. Lovely playground in the village ideal for our 3, 8 & 9 year old. Only drawback was the bathroom was very cold for the children getting a bath or shower.

As we were staying over Christmas our children were so pleased to see a Christmas tree all lit up and other decorations in the lounge.

Cottage was lovely, very clean and kitchen has everything you would need. Hamper was a lovely touch too with great essentials like dishwasher tablets! Would recommend this cottage and certainly stay there again.

My family and I have just returned from a two-night stay at the magnificent Mallard Cottage.

We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this property. The cosy and comfortable cottage is equipped to a very high standard and the owners really have thought everything, including a thoughtful welcome basket. This property is suitable for holidays all year round as the central heating kept us warm and snug in November and there is a good sized garden for warmer months.

Cottage was very comfortable.

There was a hamper of goodies left for us which was much appreciated. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with plenty of storage space for our food (which is unusual). We would thoroughly recommend it!

Perfect - thanks!

A fantastic place to stay The cottage and local area were amazing.

This cottage was perfect for attending our niece's wedding at Ryther.

Very well presented. Just no matches to light the lovely fire that had been set. Son's girlfriend arrived with lighter! No hot water on arrival but a couple of phone calls later all sorted - great service. The community shop run by volunteers is fantastic! A must visit. Very quiet in spite of closeness of railway. Definitely recommend Mallard Cottage.

Mallard cottage excellent.

Excellent base for a week in Yorkshire felt like a home from home.

Welcome box was a nice, and appreciated, touch. Used the village community store a few times - much more interesting range of products than you would expect (fairly priced too). Got the train to York a couple of times - great to be in the city in ten minutes. Walked the site of Towton battle in the War of the Roses - well signposted and the sotry of the day was told well. Thoroughly recommended for couples and small families.

Had a lovely time at Mallard cottage!

The house was beautiful just like the pictures. Local pub and Indian restaurant were really lovely and so many places ok the doorstep made it a perfect stay for us! Special thanks to the wiener for providing the baby safe equipment!

We had a lovely time at Mallard Cottage.

The village itself is very quiet, but the train station is just around the corner (which takes you to York in 11 minutes). Whilst it's outside of the Yorkshire Dale's, it's within reach - we day tripped to Bolton Abbey Malham Cove, Brimham Rocks and Harrogate and spent a brilliant day in York. The cottage itself is well equipped and modern and has everything you could need - we were almost sad that it was too warm to put the gorgeous fire on!

The house was so clean and homely, all the little touches, cushions, blankets on the sofa etc.

Every bedroom was very well presented with wardrobes and drawers, plenty of space to unpack and relax. Next time we're over we're over this place is definitely on the top of our list to stay at again.
